    You convert the photo to a file format that supports transparency (usually .png or .gif) then remove the background so nothing but the part of the image you want to appear in the rendering is left/ It is something you do using an application like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.

    Thank you so much for the information. I don't have any of the software mentioned. Is there any other way to make those images with any other software?.

    You can search the web - there are people images in png format. Some of them are free.

    Get "Gimp" for free. Do the image editing. It works very similar to Photoshop.
